Chapter 189: Slaying an Earth Rank
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Responses rang across the sky.
The Liang Family members had already arrived before them. Those Yellow Rank Liang Family disciples could actually walk through the air as well.
And without exception, every member of the Liang Family carried a long saber. There were no other weapons at all.
Over a hundred Liang Family disciples spread out.
Like stars filling the sky, they encircled the entire open area.
Clearly, the old voice that had shouted earlier had already sensed that the enemy ahead was an Earth Rank monster.
If they got too close, ordinary Yellow Rank Ninth Grade martial artists would have difficulty even protecting themselves.
The remaining seventeen Profound Rank experts flew swiftly to Li Mu’s side.
“Tiger Marquis Li! We await your orders!”
Liang Jianxin spoke solemnly.
Li Mu had no time to continue doubting them.
The current situation no longer allowed him the slightest hesitation!
Li Mu pointed at the green-armored giant.
“Sever its tentacles. Leave the rest to me!”
“Understood!”
The Liang Family members did not hesitate at all and answered in unison.
At this moment, the Yellow Rank Ninth Grade Liang Family disciples scattered around the area had already begun activating the formation.
Every disciple suspended the long saber in their hands in front of them.
Their hands formed an empty embrace around the blades.
Those long sabers actually began emitting waves of humming sounds.
The blade hum filled the sky and soon resounded through heaven and earth.
That sound was like a deity continuously reciting some strange scripture, carrying a powerful, mysterious, and eerie force.
By then, the seventeen Profound Rank experts of the Liang Family had already charged into the air above the green-armored giant.
The green-armored giant seemed to sense the threat, and its tentacles lashed madly.
At the same time, the dark green halo from before spread outward with a boom!
Li Mu was just about to warn the Liang Family members not to take that halo head-on.
Unexpectedly, the moment the halo met the sound of the Blade-Ringing Grand Formation, it was shattered inch by inch.
“Inner Formation! Receive the blades!”
The old voice shouted again.
The seventeen Profound Rank experts each pulled a golden great saber out of the empty space before them!
The sabers were more than ten meters long. Their saber radiance flickered and illuminated heaven and earth!
Then, carrying the sabers, they charged straight into the countless tentacles!
Li Mu saw it with his own eyes.
Liang Jianxin brought his saber down and severed one tentacle.
When a small tentacle sprang out from within it and attacked him, that tentacle was split in two by the razor-sharp saber qi surrounding Liang Jianxin.
It was like a tree branch had struck fiercely against a blade.
However, after the long saber in Liang Jianxin’s hand severed the tentacle, it suddenly shrank by more than half.
The seventeen experts could basically each sever one tentacle!
But no matter whether they severed a tentacle or were struck by a small tentacle that sprang out, the golden sabers in their hands would sharply diminish.
The Liang Family’s Blade-Ringing Grand Formation was certainly powerful, but it was also fleeting.
It could only support each person in slashing out once and withstanding a single strike!
The golden sabers of the dozen or so martial artists below the Profound Rank Fourth or Fifth Grade were the first to revert to normal size.
The green-armored giant finally seemed to sense the threat. It opened its mouth and let out an explosive roar!
The might of the Earth Rank erupted with a boom. The surrounding space was shaken and rubbed violently, instantly entering an extremely terrifying high-temperature state.
The Liang Family experts below the Profound Rank Fifth Grade burst into fireballs with a boom, like ignited alcohol.
They were shaken by the terrifying vibration until they spat blood and flew backward.
Only the few martial artists above the Profound Rank Fifth Grade still had more than half of their golden sabers remaining.
They were completely fearless. Although their golden sabers were rapidly shrinking, the blades still carried those experts forward and forcefully split through the shockwaves, charging straight ahead!
They severed all the final remaining tentacles!
Of course, Li Mu did not waste the Liang Family’s powerful reinforcements. By now, he had already transformed into a Flying Mosquito and flown through the Liang Family’s saber radiance to reach the air above the giant.
The giant’s final tentacle was severed.
The few Liang Family experts at the Profound Rank Fifth Grade and above were also abruptly thrown backward.
At this moment, Li Mu revealed himself above the giant.
“Heavenly Might!”
Heavenly Might struck, and its terrifying power descended directly toward the giant’s head!
The green-armored giant roared, “No!”
It raised both hands again, lifting dark green energy to violently resist Heavenly Might.
The explosion from the collision of energies caused the ground to cave in with a boom.
Dust and smoke instantly swallowed the green-armored giant.
Half of the green-armored giant’s body was embedded into the deep pit.
But it looked at Li Mu with its ghostly green eyes.
There seemed to be a trace of anger in its gaze, fury that Li Mu actually possessed such a powerful strike.
He had actually been able to injure it!
There was also a trace of mockery, as though it were sneering that Li Mu’s strongest strike amounted to no more than this.
Who would have thought that in the next instant, Li Mu would vanish.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of it.
“Freeze!”
Li Mu’s eyes nearly split with rage. He let out a thunderous shout and raised the Ghostface Cudgel high in his hands.
Then he brought the cudgel down on its head!
The green-armored giant’s pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.
It!
An Earth Rank!
Actually could not move!
In truth, during the military district riot, Li Mu had just come out of the Spirit Tree Mystic Realm not long before.
All the way until he arrived here, the True Qi throughout his body had only recovered by roughly seventy to eighty percent.
In the battle just now, he had relied entirely on Divine Abilities and techniques.
They had consumed a large amount of True Qi.
Yet he had been secretly conserving True Qi the whole time.
All for this one use of Immobilization Art!
It did not matter whether the enemy was Profound Rank or Earth Rank!
As long as it could be hit by Immobilization Art!
Li Mu poured all his remaining True Qi into Iron-Cleaving Form.
Iron-Cleaving Form + threefold Heavenly Might + Flowing Cloud Fleeting Shadow + 50% stronger attacks against immobilized targets + 10% lingering Heavenly Might + Mountain-Bearing Art with the strength of two dragons + the tenfold “Bone-Piercing” effect of the Great Heavenly Immortal Art!
“Die!”
The green-armored giant’s head was instantly smashed apart by the Ghostface Cudgel, followed by its chest cavity and abdomen!
Its entire body was practically “pressed” into left and right halves by Li Mu’s cudgel!
Almost at the same time, Li Mu activated the External Incarnation from Divine Weapon Art.
Taking advantage of the lingering force of Heavenly Might, it flew to the rune stone tablet.
Then it shattered the stone tablet with a thunderous strike!
Only when the stone tablet shattered did Li Mu’s heart barely settle.
But from within the green-armored giant’s body, which had just been hacked to death in front of him, an extremely terrifying power gradually erupted!
The Liang Family’s old man immediately shouted in terror.
“Self-destruction! It’s an Earth Rank self-destruction! Run!”
His terrified voice no longer sounded human.
Li Mu also sensed that terrifying power.
But it was already too late to leave.
And if he took no measures, An Xing and the other injured Profound Rank experts would all die!
There was no time for hesitation.
Li Mu swung the Ghostface Cudgel and fiercely drew the Safe-Haven Method!
He enclosed the green-armored giant’s corpse within it.
Almost the instant Li Mu shot out of the Safe-Haven Method...
BOOM!
A world-destroying force erupted inside the Safe-Haven Method!
It only delayed the force for a moment before the Safe-Haven Method was blasted apart!
Li Mu instantly activated Bronze Head and Iron Arms!
Under three-hundredfold defense, Li Mu only felt as though his lower back had been struck by a small mountain.
His entire body flew out uncontrollably.
All the clothes and skin on his back instantly exploded apart!
He flew several hundred meters and crashed into a tree root. His consciousness began rapidly blurring.
He could not resist it!
In his fading consciousness, Li Mu could vaguely see that the spatial mirror of a different world in the sky was rapidly being restored, as if the scene were playing in reverse.
The spatial membrane that had been on the verge of tearing open at any moment was also being stuffed back into place.
And before his eyes, there was also a light.
It began as white light before changing into golden light!
The first node on the Profound Rank Life Meridian inside his body was lit with a boom.
After that, Li Mu’s consciousness was swallowed by the soaring golden light, and he sank into chaos...
If I had known, I would have left ten or twenty thousand points for Bronze Head and Iron Arms before going all in...
Within the chaos, even though Li Mu’s mind was no longer clear, he could still receive the system rewards.
